U. S. Marine Hospital.

From all indications it is about
time the government was taking steps
to erect fine building at Port Town
send for marine hospital purposes.
We do not say this to be in the role
of mendicant-always asking some-
thing from the national treasury
bnt because the interests of commerce
demand it. 1t is true that an addi-
tional appropriation will be asked for
this winter for the custom house
building, the $1,000 granted for that
purpose not having been sufficient to
get it fairly started; but the needs of
the marine hospital service are quite
as important. Government owns two
splendid blocks of land on the brow
of the hill overlooking the bay and
harbor, on one of which stands a
wooden building erected by DR.. Min
or (he former owner) which was
ample and commodious for the needs
of the service when it was built; but
the building is now so crowded that,
as the surgeon in charge admits,
whenever a bed is vacated there are
usually two OF three applicants for it.
This crowding is due to the enormous
growth of commerce on Puget Sound
and the consequently increasing num-
Der of sailors who require nursing or
medical attention. 1t was proposed
to use one of the blocks of marine
hospital property for the custom
house building when that institution
was to be located, but the Surgeon
General would not listen to such a
proposition, saying that the land
would all be needed soon for a fine
hospital building We submit that
the time has arrived Our goVern~
ment cannot afford to be behiad the
needs of the age on Puget Sound.
Its commerce, and growing import

Columbia, or of other ports in the

receive better attention. The time
for ignoring the needs of its own
commerce has lapsed in these United
States. Facts and figures can and
will be submitted at the proper time
TO substantiate the claims in favor of
the proposition herein contained. 1t
would be proper for the board of
trade at this place to take steps early
in the direction of which we speak.
The fact that these needs happen to
fall upon Port Townsend bay should
stimulate our citizens to the neces~
sary exertion to secure the appropri-
alton needed. There is good reason
to believe that an earnest and Judi
eious effort would be successful. The
prospect is we'll worth the venture by
our citizens, as a business PROPOSE
ton, saying nothing about other con
siderations; and if much pressure IS
required it is high time the hydraulic
was set to working.

MEMPHIS, Oct. 15.-When the Kan

preceding the presidential train ar
rived at a trestle between Bon
nerville and JonesbQro, Arkansas,
yesterday, the engineer discovered
the tfestle to be on fire A cores
pondent who happenet to be on the
train made careful examination of
the burned timbers, which gave un-
mistakable evidence of an attempt at
train wrecking Fire was started on
the under side of the ties in such Il
manner that there can be no possible
belief that sparks were the cause of it.
Further examination showed that the
torch had been applied to eight or
nine timbers. There are many good
reasons for tho belief that the tiends
who set fire to this trestle had in
mind the presidents special train,
which was to be the next one over the
road after the train which discovered
the fire. Every train man whose
opinion the correspondent asked in
the matter, SAID freely that he had no
doubt but the intention was to wreck
the presidents train.
